What's the best way to document daily work sessions for sprint reviews?

Documenting daily work sessions for sprint reviews is simplified by auto-logging concise entries into a daily WORKLOG file. It records what was done and links to created or read files, enabling progressive disclosure without overwhelming detail.

Can I reference created files and results in my daily work documentation?

Yes, you can reference created or read files in your daily work documentation. The worklog entry supports linking to these items for context, appending them alongside the timestamp and topic to the WORKLOG/YYYYMMDD.md file.

How does a daily worklog file structure entries for end-of-day summaries?

A daily worklog file structures entries by creating a new top-level section for each activity in WORKLOG/YYYYMMDD.md. Each section includes a HH:MM timestamp, a brief topic, and links to relevant files for end-of-day summaries.

Do I need any external dependencies to automate my worklog entries?

No external dependencies are needed to automate worklog entries. The skill operates independently to create or update the WORKLOG/YYYYMMDD.md file, formatting timestamped entries without requiring additional components or modules.

Why use an automated worklog instead of manually tracking daily tasks?

An automated worklog standardizes daily work documentation by automatically appending concise, timestamped entries. This prevents manual tracking errors and ensures consistent formatting for sprint updates and task retrospectives.
